If he did actually leave id like to see Giannis go to Dallas or New Orleans. Not sure who Dallas could offer in a trade but the Pelicans have almost every Lakers 1st round pick until 2026.

He'll go to the Knicks! Said no one ever, lol.
Giannis needs help for sure. Imagine him playing w Doncic?
not a huge marcus smart fan but he sure enough did get run over by gasol on that inbounds play. that was a great game.

Sloppy game at times tonight by them but strong finish gets them the W. I am getting more annoyed then I normally do at the diving and embellishments. Anyone else watch this game and think there was more than normal or is it just me?

I don't have kids in sports so I don't know but Greenberg mentioned that his kids and their piers all do flopping now. It has reached the middle and HS levels now.

You have a game featuring Kyle Lowry and Marcus Smart. Only way to have more flopping would be a game of one on one between Vlade Divac and Manflop Ginobli.
Game 7 tonight, can't wait, going to be a classic. Go Raptors Go! Just hopefully I can stay up to watch the entire game. The legend of Kyle Lowry will grow again tonight!

Not sure how they could make that happen, Current salary cap is around 109 Mil, Clips have 115 Mil committed to cap next year (when they would have to trade for Giannis) and 108,8 Mil committed in 2021-22 when he'd be a FA. Kawhi and George make up about 70 Mil next year and 74 Mil in 21-22 (player options for both). No way they add a 3rd max contract from outside the organization, Bird rights would be the only shot. So it would have to be a trade next year and Clips would have to send back an approximate equivalent to Giannis' 27 Mil salary in player, plus multiple first round picks. Unless either Kawhi or George opts out in 21-22, then they could pursue Giannis, but without the player who opted out.
The Heat on the other hand have tons of cap space. Have only 63 Mil committed for 21-22. Expect Giannis to take his talents to South Beach.

All great points.
That owner is beyond rich. Is there anyway he could get Giannis and have to pay some kind of Tax for being over the Cap?(and keep Leonard & George). I don't fully understand how the NBA works it.

Teams can go over the cap to re-sign their own player (the so called Bird Rights), so if they were to swing a trade for Giannis, they could then re-sign him once he is on the team and go over the cap and pay the luxury tax penalty. Couldn't just wait the year till he's a FA and sign him with Kawhi and George's deals on the books, so one of them would have to opt out. But salaries in trades in the NBA have to match up to a certain degree (like 125% or something) so since Giannis is making about 27 Mil next year, Clips would have to send back somewhere around $22 Mil worth of current players to Milwaukee in the deal plus whatever picks Milwaukee demands, And not sure Clippers picks are too valuable as they won't likely be in the lottery for a while (whoever thought they'd see those words typed out). Hard to imagine any scenario where a trade to LAC happens.

I see. Thanks.
Yeah, who would've thought the Clippers NOT having a Lottery pick and no value trying to trade Draft picks.
Neither Los Angeles team has any real draft picks of value until about 2026. Even the ones that the Lakers do own the Pelicans get the option to swap with them. The Thunder are also hoping for LA basketball to go down the drain.
The Clips and Lakers are both still in the hunt so im sure they dont care right now lol
Go gang green GO! The Celtics need to get The Finals and win to keep that streak of a Boston area team in a championship round.

My other pet peave is the shooter jumping in to the defender for a foul. They need to reverse that shit.
